​

On March 12th 2019 I was out on the playground at recess with my class, it was a beautiful sunny day, blue sky, bright fluffy white clouds and suddenly my eye caught the glimpse of a bird that was hovering in one spot. It was pulsating (moving rhythmically). It was gold, bright, shiny, glowing and I could Clearly see its form and the details of its tail. It was absolutely breath taking.

​

 It stayed for a few moments and then disappeared. It didn't fly away it disappeared.

I immediately though what was that?  Then I thought that was Holy Spirit.

I began to question in my mind why did he appear to me here at work? What does he want me to know?

​

About ten minutes later I received a text from my brother Jim saying that they were rushing my father to the hospital by ambulance. My sister Tina had found him nearly lifeless in his chair.

​

Praise God! My brother Shane is a Life Flight Paramedic and knows what to do in emergency situations such as these.

 He took care of dad in the ambulance on the way to the hospital and was fully prepare to intubate him if he needed to.

​

Dad had been diagnosed with multiple Myeloma and was being treated for it.

When my sister found him he was in Afib, he had A1 influenza, and double pneumonia.

​

Later that evening as my husband and I were talking to couple of our good friends, they were sharing with us about a book they were going to use for their home church and when our friend held up the book, that same bird that I had seen that very day was on the cover.

 

  It was a book about Holy Spirit and in picture you could tell the bird was clearly pulsating just like the one I saw.

 

I knew in that moment that God had showed up before I was going to receive the word about my father so that I would not doubt that everything was going to be fine and that He had it all under control. 

​

However I must admit, when things went from bad to worse,

when they had to sedate him, paralyze him, had to intubate him and had to start dialysis because his kidneys were not functioning like they should, I still knew he'd be alright but I thought he would be alright in the hands of the Father.

​

I was sure that we were going to be saying good bye for now.

 

Especially when no one could make out or understand what he was trying to say or tell us and I was the only one in the room and he sat up to hug me,  looked me in the eyes and said I love you as clear as could be. I thought those were his last words to me.

 

There was a battle going on in my mind. Would he even want to be going through all of this?

 Maybe Holy Spirit had showed up on the play ground that day because he was ready for dad to come home. I didn't know.  

 

  So the battle raged on for weeks and weeks.

​

I had always heard that a person could be in a coma and still hear what was going on around them. It worried me that maybe he could hear all the negative reports.

 

So even though I wasn't sure if he was staying or going, I did not like it when anything was said in his presence that was a negative report.

​

I kept saying to my husband Mike I wish they wouldn't talk about stuff in front of him He might be able to hear them.

​

I found myself a little agitated when things were said that were not of a good report and I would begin to renounce the negative reports and continue to pray Gods will be done.

​

It was a roller coaster of emotions for all of us and a rollercoaster of reports from the doctors.

​

       We called all the prayer warriors we knew. Many brothers and sisters in Christ were declaring the word and the will of God over him,

​

God heard our cries and when the report was that it was going to be at least a year of rehabilitation God had a different plan.

​

 Three months later and dad is doing well and is actually home.

PRAISE GOD!!!!!

​

WE GIVE GLORY, HONOR, THANKS, AND PRAISE TO GOD OUR FATHER, JESUS OUR LORD AND TO HOLY SPIRIT OUR CONFORTER!!!! 

​

 We want to take this time to personally thank each and everyone of you for standing with us in faith for the will of God to be done!!

We so appreciate you all!!

​

GOD'S BLESSINGS UPON EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU!!!!

CARRY ON PRAYER WARRIORS OUR GOD CARES AND OUR GOD HEARS!!!!!!!!!!

                                                  Update and Praise Report  11-11-19

​

 Dad is still doing very well. PRAISE GOD!!  He is back on his Chemo Pill but does not have

to continue with the shots and they are no longer planning to do the Bone Marrow Transplant. THANK YOU JESUS!!

                                                    Update and Praise Report 4-30-2020

​

 On April 30th  knowing that dad was not doing well and having more bad days then good days I decided to no longer wait out the whole Covid 19 pandemic social distancing and just go ahead and go down to my brother Shane's house to see him, I had been waiting only because of the risk of being a carrier. But I knew if He we're to get worse and end up in the hospital they would not let us in because of the Covid restrictions.

​

He definitely was not feeling well. At one point he looked up at me and said did I know you were

coming?

​

I said no I just decided to.

He said oh well I must have had a dream then.

Praise God for dreams that come to pass!

​

That day about 15 minutes after I left I got a call saying that he had went unresponsive and they we're taking him by ambulance to the hospital.

​

​

Dad was in the hospital from the 30th to the 5th.

The 4th was a pretty good day and he was going to be released on the 5th to go into a rehabilitation center for therapy, but then he spiked a fever and went unresponsive again.

As they we're taking him to ICU to run test for infection he crashed and had to be intubated once again.

 

They immediately put him on hospice and that cleared the way for us to get in.

 

The next day he was transferred to the Hospice House.

 

He was there from the 6th to the 12th 

​

With my brother being a Base Lead Flight Paramedic at Medflight we knew what to look for and the nurses also explained to us the process, what a persons body does and looks like when they are near the end.

​

We all were praying over him

I specifically prayed over him that he would not experience the things that you normally experience in the end of life process.

​

Praise God dad didn't.

​

He was completely peaceful the entire time he was at the Hospice House.

​

On May 12th around noon I got a text saying that they would be doing Dads military pinning at 2:00pm I was already planning to go up but was waiting to go the later shift so that I could spend the night with him.

My brother Shane was with him and my brother Jim and sister Tina and I all headed there early to be there for the pinning.

​

They only allowed two of us in each day so I signed in since I was staying the night.

Tina and Jim watched through the window.

​

After the pinning dad started to slow down on His breathing we knew He was nearing the end of his earthly journey so Jim and Tina came in.

​

Shane leaned down and spoke in dads ear.

We are all here dad. You don't have to wait on us we will see you on the other side.

 

It was only a few minutes and dad passed.

It was so peaceful I know God had it all planned out.

We were all there, together with Him.

​

what a GIFT FROM GOD!!

THANK YOU JESUS!!!

​

Once again we personally thank each and everyone of you for standing with us in faith for the will of God to be done!!

We so appreciate you all!!

​

GOD'S BLESSINGS UPON EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU!!!!

CARRY ON PRAYER WARRIORS OUR GOD CARES AND OUR GOD HEARS!!!!!!!!!!
